there are no shortcuts in sales


There are no shortcuts when it come to life or sales. Think about it, anything worth anything takes times. You cannot cut the natural process in order to bypass the experience or time commitment.? Relationships: You can't speed up trust which is the foundation of any relationship. That is built over time.? Weight Loss: I have tried by taking a pill or doing a magic diet, but it gave me short term results. It wasn't anything I could maintain. It takes exercise and proper eating.? Fine Meal: Hot pockets don't count. Think back to your last holiday meal. It took that person a great deal of time and planning for a 30 minute meal.? Weddings: I have known it to take YEARS to plan the Fairytle wedding.? Sales Results: Anyone can have a good day or even month, but to do it year in and out it takes time and hard work.The closest thing I found as a shortcut in sales is a referral. You can bypass many years of building a relationship from getting a solid referral, but this is not a guarantee. There is still work involved because you have to build the relationship with this client.I did find a shortcut. It is in software programs, but it took time to know that the short cut exists and to learn them. I figure if there truly was a shortcut it wouldn't be called that...it would be call "The Way".REMEMBER: SHORTCUTS = PAY CUTSArticle by Tim Scholze
